Ultrasound said girl...is there anyway it could be wrong?

Share

I went for my 18 week ultrasound (I'm almost 33 weeks now) and both the nurse and the doctor said girl, but in the picture they printed out, I don't see the "three lines" that you would see on most girl's ultrasounds...Can anyone take a look and tell me what they think? I was so happy, and wanted a girl sooo very bad. I've already had a pink shower and told everyone it was a girl, but I can't help feeling like maybe the ultrasound could be wrong. Is there a chance the boy parts could be hiding? The nurse and doctor both sounded fairly sure, and looked for a long time, because the first ultrasound I had (13 weeks) I was told he thought it was a boy.
Picture is on my profile.

Yes there is actually a chance of it being different than what they think they saw. I was told if you only have one ultrasound it is usually about 80%-95% accurate. I tried to look at your photo but it doesn't show up.
